I’m happy to announce a new Arvia novel this spring: The Forest of Fate. It’s a stand-alone story with very personal stakes. This survival adventure follows two people overcoming an impossible situation: exile to the worst wilderness in all the land. Watch this space for updates and a sneak peek. The book will release on ......
With the release of Arvia: Wings of the Wild just a week and a half away, I wanted to share a little more about it. This is Darin and Rinloh’s most epic adventure yet—a truly grand journey through dangerous wilderness and exotic new locations. Several reader favorite characters return to play a significant role in ......
I’m excited to finally unveil the cover for Arvia: Wings of the Wild, the fourth book in Tales of Arvia. In contrast to prior books, where I had several different ideas for cover compositions, for Arvia: Wings of the Wild, the choice was clear. Much of the story was set around the ruins of an ......
Today I welcome a friend who’s generously agreed to write a guest post to continue the discussion of Romance for Men! (Previous RFM post is here.) Please welcome author K.R. Treadway to discuss the tale of the two romances. Many men’s romance fans are also readers in the traditional romance market. The “trad market” is ......
I’m happy to finally unveil a project I’ve been working on for the last half year: a professionally narrated audiobook for Harpyness is Only Skin Deep. As my first published novel, Harpyness holds a special place in my heart, and I’ve always wanted to do an audiobook of it. The process started with narrator selection, ......
Today I thought I’d share a lively new online group I’ve gotten involved with over the past half year: Romance for Men. To begin with, about the name—the group welcomes everyone. The issue is that many discussions about romance implicitly assume ‘for women’ as the default. As a personal example, I recall a twitter post ......
I’m thrilled to finally show off the cover for Arvia: Heart of the Sky. And once again, I’m super happy with the work done by Papaya-Style. There was a lot of development work behind the cover, so I thought I’d share some of the drafts and concept art. I was delighted how the cover for ......

I’ve gotten much better at video composition, and thought it was time to completely redo the trailer for Finding Your Harpy Place. As I announced in September, Tales of Arvia will continue with a new book early 2023, and I’ve ......

Hello friends! Today’s the big day for the cover reveal of Midnight on the Manatee. Once again, Papaya-Style did a bang-up job. So, you may notice this one looks a bit different than some of my other recent covers. I love detailed fantasy landscapes such as the subterranean temple from Hazelhearth Hires Heroes, but since ......
Hello friends! Thought I’d update you on all things Arvia. There’s big news on the horizon. Big, feathered news, if you catch my drift. Tales of Arvia (a.k.a. the Darinloh saga) will continue shortly. Also, Tales of Arvia 3 now has an actual name: Arvia: Heart of the Sky. My cover artist has done marvelous ......
For today’s mermaid week post, we have author SD Simper, who has created an entire trilogy with a mermaid theme. Let’s see what inspires her. Which historical myths did you draw from when creating your story? The Fate of Stars started off as a “what if” prompt: what if, in The Little Mermaid, when the ......
